  • My heart goes out to the street angels
    Working their way back home
    My heart goes out to the street angels

    I save my change for a street angel
    Working his way back home
    I'd this exchange with the street angel
    Nobody talks to me much
    I said, nobody talks to me much
    Nobody

    So he says,
    I make my verse for the universe
    I write my rhymes for the universities
    And I give it away for the hoot of it
    I tell my tale for the toot of it
    I wear my suit for the suit of it
    The tree is bare, but the root of it
    Goes deeper than logical reasoning

    It's god goes fishing
    And we are the fishes
    He baits his lines
    With prayers and wishes
    They sparkle in the shallows
    They catch the falling light
    We hide our hearts like holy hostages
    We're hungry for the love, and so we bite

    Workin' his way back home
    He's workin' his way back home
    They took him away in the ambulance
    Made a way with the ambulance
    He waved goodbye from the ambulance

    My heart goes out to the street angel Writer/s: PAUL SIMON
